Thousands of people marched across South Africa on June 30 to demand the departure of undocumented foreign nationals. It's part of a weeks-long campaign that has sent thousands fleeing and claimed four lives. In Malawi, 15,000 people have returned home, fleeing xenophobic violence. Protesters are blaming migrants for unemployment and crime, a claim challenged by President Cyril Ramaphosa and human rights groups.
